Cannabis

Cannabis, AKA marijuana, has had an image problem. That and some legalities. There is no simple way to explain what cannabis truly is when, on the one hand, condemned by law. On the other, it is condoned by medicine. What is one to do, and how did it get this way?

Outlawed in Canada in 1927 and in the US in 1937, cannabis has not been available to study until quite recently. What these studies uncover is providing hope for many unable to hold their footing against the current medical regime of pharmaceutical cure-alls.

As early as 2700 BC, Chinese Emperor Shen Nung recorded its use for various maladies. Here is a short-list of what cannabis can remedy:

Pain management

Chronic neurological diseases

Convulsive disorders

Migraine headaches

Anorexia

Mental illness

Bacterial infections

Cancer

Glaucoma

Chronic musculoskeletal pain

More as the studies deepen
